Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor cut quality and tool damage.Utilize high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum to ensure clean cuts and extend tool life.
Improper handling leading to scratches or dents on the surface, compromising aesthetic and potentially structural integrity.Handle sheets with care, using gloves and protective coverings where necessary, and store them on a flat, stable surface away from potential impact.
